That's a very good question.

How do you know what "one's language" is?

I would think so too.

Well, we need to step back here. One thing to remember is that a doc
has one document registration file, and it's translation has another.
They are separate document. I don't know how you're going to do "fall
back" at all, unless I add some way to link one doc to another.
When I was working along the lines of Dublin Core, rather than our
native metadata set, this was taken care of on some level.
I'm starting to wonder whether my doc-base-interchange DTD should
perhaps be Dublin Core based. I would have to deal with the mapping
for our doc-base format to Dublin Core, and perhaps alway a way for
folks to register their dublin core data more direclty (either using
HTML headers, or perhaps RDF/XML representation.
It's a whole kettle of fish. I'm trying to just do one thing at a
time.
